Christine’s Answer

It depends on the individual. I have worked with ABs who have worked in that position for their entire career, so 30-40 years.

I have also worked with many 3rd and 2nd Officers (mates) who started their maritime careers as Ordinary Seaman and then upgraded to AB then to being an officer.
